The corporation may have such other offices within or without the State of Connecticut as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

ARTICLE II

Meetings of Stockholders

1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office or place of business of the corporation, or at such place within or without the State of Connecticut as from time to time may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors.

2. ANNUAL MEETINGS. The annual meetings of the stockholders shall be held on such day, other than a legal holiday, in the month of March or April of each year and at such time and place as may be designated by the Board of Directors. The purpose of such meeting shall be the election of directors by ballot and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before such meeting. If the annual meeting of the stockholders be not held as herein prescribed, the election of directors may be held at any meeting thereafter called pursuant to these by-laws or otherwise lawfully held.

3. NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING. A notice setting out the day, hour and place of such annual meeting shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each stockholder of record at the stockholder’s address as the same appears on the stock transfer and registration records of the corporation or its agent, or if no such address appears, at the stockholder’s last known address, not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before such annual meeting. Such notice shall also state any proposed amendment or repeal of these by-laws and any other proposed matter other than the election of directors which, under the Connecticut Business Corporation Act (“CBCA”), expressly requires the vote of stockholders.

4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the President or by majority vote of the Board of Directors. A special meeting of the stockholders shall be called by the President upon the written request of one (l) or more stockholders holding in the aggregate at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the total number of shares entitled to vote on any issue proposed to be considered at such meeting upon their delivery to the Secretary of one (l) or more written demands for the special meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held. The Secretary shall mail a notice of such meeting to each stockholder of record not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before such meeting, and such notice shall state the day, hour and place of such meeting and the purpose thereof.

5. ADJOURNMENT OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING. If an annual or special stockholders’ meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. If a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed under Section 33-701 of the CBCA, however, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given under these by-laws to persons who are stockholders as of the new record date.

6. WAIVER OF NOTICE. (a) A stockholder may waive any notice required by the CBCA, the certificate of incorporation of the corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these by-laws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver must be in writing, be signed by the stockholder entitled to notice and be delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.

(b) A stockholder’s attendance at a meeting: (1) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the stockholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (2) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the stockholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

7. STOCKHOLDER ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. (a) Any action which, under the provisions of the CBCA, may be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting by one or more consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken or to be taken, bearing the date of signature and signed by all of the persons who would be entitled to vote upon such action at a meeting, or by their duly authorized attorneys. The Secretary shall file such consent or consents, or certify the tabulation of such consents and file such certificate, with the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders. Any consent or consents that become effective as provided herein shall have the same force and effect as a vote of stockholders at a meeting duly held.

(b) If not otherwise fixed under Section 33-697 of the CBCA or in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the first stockholder signs the consent under subsection (a) of this section. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty days of the earliest date appearing on a consent delivered to the corporation in the manner required by this section, written consents signed by all other stockholders entitled to vote on the matter are received by the corporation. A written consent may be revoked by a writing to that effect, provided such revocation shall not be effective if it is received by the corporation after the corporation has received a sufficient number of unrevoked written consents to take such corporate action from all other stockholders entitled to vote on such action.

8. QUORUM. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the CBCA or the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter by a voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting, unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.

9. PROXIES. (a) A stockholder may vote each stockholder’s shares in person or by proxy.

(b) A stockholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for such stockholder by signing an appointment form, either personally or by such stockholder’s attorney-in-fact.

(c) An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes. A photographic or similar reproduction of an appointment, or a telegram, cablegram, facsimile transmission, wireless or similar transmission of an appointment, received by such person shall be sufficient to effect such appointment. An appointment is valid for eleven (11) months unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form.

(d) An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the stockholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest. Appointments coupled with an interest include the appointment of (i) a pledgee; (ii) a person who purchased or agreed to purchase the shares; (iii) a creditor of the corporation who extended it credit under the terms requiring the appointment; (iv) an employee of the corporation whose employment contract requires the appointment; or (v) a party to a voting agreement created under Section 33-716 of the CBCA.

(e) The death or incapacity of the stockholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary or other office or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises authority under the appointment.

(f) An appointment made irrevocable under subsection (d) of this Section 9 is revoked when the interest with which it is coupled is extinguished.

(g) A transferee for value of shares subject to an irrevocable appointment may revoke the appointment if such transferee did not know of its existence when such transferee acquired the shares and the existence of the irrevocable appointment was not noted conspicuously on the certificate representing the shares or on the information statement for shares without certificates. The Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes may require such transferee to represent such transferee’s lack of knowledge of such irrevocable appointment and may rely on such representation.

(h) Subject to Section 33-708 of the CBCA and to any express limitation on the proxy’s authority appearing on the face of the appointment form, the corporation is entitled to accept the proxy’s vote or other action as that of the stockholder making the appointment.

10. NUMBER OF VOTES OF EACH STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder, whether represented in person or by proxy, shall be entitled to one (l) vote for each share of stock standing in such stockholder’s name on the books of the corporation on the record date.

11. VOTING. In the election of directors and in voting on any question on which a vote by ballot is required by law or is demanded by any stockholder, the voting shall be by ballot; on all other questions it may be viva voce.

12. RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining which stockholders are entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or which stockholders are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors, and in the absence of its action the Secretary of the corporation or any other person lawfully acting, shall set a record date which shall not be any earlier than the date on which the Board of Directors, the Secretary or such other authorized party acts to set such record date and no more than seventy (70) nor less than ten (10) days before the particular event requiring such determination of stockholders is to occur.

13. ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED AT MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS. To be properly brought before the annual or any special meeting of the stockholders, business must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement or amendment thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), or (c) solely in the case of the annual meeting, otherwise properly brought before the meeting by any stockholder of the corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 13 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at an annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the advance notice procedures set forth in this Section 13.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.

To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary of the corporation must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in such business and (v) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

Notwithstanding anything in these by-laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual or any special meeting of the stockholders except business brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13; provided, however, that, once business has been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 13 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. The officer of the corporation presiding at the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13, and if such officer shall so determine, such officer shall so declare to the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

14. ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the corporation, except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of preferred stock of the corporation to nominate and elect a specified number of directors in certain circumstances.

Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), or (b) by any stockholder of the corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 14 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting and (ii) who complies with the advance notice procedures set forth in this Section 14.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be properly made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the corporation.

To be timely, a stockholder's written notice to the Secretary of the corporation must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation, in the case of: (x) an annual meeting, not less than seventy-five (75) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding year's annual meeting of the stockholders; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is first given or made (which for this purpose shall include any and all filings of the corporation made on the EDGAR system of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any similar public database maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission), whichever first occurs; and (y) a special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting is first given or made (which for this purpose shall include any and all filings of the corporation made on the EDGAR system of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any similar public database maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission).

To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary of the corporation must set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by the person, if any, and (iv) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and record address of such stockholder proposing such nomination, (ii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder, (iv) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice and (v) any other information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named or referred to as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information (which may include meetings to discuss the furnished information) as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the corporation.

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14. The officer of the corporation presiding at the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that the nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14, and if such officer shall also determine, such officer shall so declare to the meeting that any such defective nomination shall be disregarded.
